Fuel Set to Burn in the City

Burning Fuel, winner of eight of nine starts at Bulli and Maitland, is set to bring her provincial form to town and land her first Wentworth Park race on Wednesday night.

The Mark Wilcox-trained greyhound has box four in heat four of the Ladbrokes Daily Video Stakes but the draw is better than it appears on paper.

Burning Fuel likes to use a bit of the track at Wentworth Park and has a vacant box on her outside with It's A Skinner, a wide runner, in box six.

Burning Fuel has raced twice at headquarters, finishing a good second behind Sky Wave on May 26 before being well back throughout in a far tougher heat of the group 1 Ladbrokes Peter Mosman Classic a week later.

Wilcox could land a double at Wenty as Burning Fuel's litter sister, Cosmic Blend looks hard to beat as she makes her city debut in heat 3 of the Ladbrokes Daily Video.

Cosmic Blend, a winner of six from 12 provincial outings, is well drawn in box two and seems suited over 520m following her strong finishing second behind WP winner Really Fast Love over 472m at Bulli on June 16.

Burning Fuel appeals as Wednesday's best bet with the meeting's value runner looming as Dyna Gavin, who has box seven in heat 7 of the Daily Video.

Trained by the in-form Simon Rhodes, Dyna Gavin came from fifth early to finish second to Seb Zarr Moonie at Wentworth Park last Wednesday.

In that race Dyna Gavin did not show early speed but Rhodes said the dog was capable of displaying better dash.

"He has not been showing early zip in his races but Dyna Gavin can do so in trials so it is not beyond him,'' Rhodes said.

Wednesday's feature race, the 520m Go The Blues Stakes, looks a match between Rockstar Romeo in box one and Blazin' Fletch in seven.

Rockstar Romeo took the lead on the back straight before being run down by It's My Secret at Wentworth Park on Saturday night while Blazin' Fletch led to the home bend when second to Dyna Danna at Wenty last Wednesday.

"Rockstar Romeo had to work hard to reach the lead on Saturday and when he has to do that he is not strong at the end of 520m,'' trainer Mark Gatt said.

"But if he pings the lids and gets straight behind the lure he will run it out fine.
